Ingredients

6 Ounces pineapple juice
2 Tablespoons lime juice
1 Tablespoon white vinegar
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Teaspoon salt
1/2 Teaspoon dried Oregano, crumbled
1/8 Teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 Teaspoon mild chili pepper (Anaheim or CA) *, Finely Minced
8 Drops yellow food coloring
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken, measure out 1/4 cup marinade and reserve for basting while grilling. Place chicken in a shallow glass baking dish and cover with marinade. Cover with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, turning at least once.
Remove chicken from refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking time. Drain chicken and grill over medium coals for 25 to 35 minutes or until no traces of pink color remain, turning every 10 minutes. Baste frequently with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade while cooking.
